As bad a track record as Console MMO's have, at least I'll have a way to play if the system requirements on PC are too high.

Wait, I'm confused. How could we play a game, if it wasn't on a 360? Oo

That just doesn't make sense.

As long as they keep those X360 users of my server, it's all fine. Else, my only goal in the game will be annoying them to hell...

Nah, good joke. You almost got me there. ;)

Though I've never played one before, I've heard that MMOs are a pain to play on consoles when it comes to interaction, unless you've got an XBox keyboard.

I never trust news announced on this day.

Yeah me too :xp:

But since it probably won't come out for Mac...I will just have to use that new thing called OnLive (if TOR comes out for it).

I sure hope it is. No one should announce anything on April 1st.

Easier said than done as Wine is primarily used on Linux! One might be able to use parallels or just boot into windows using boot camp :p

As an owner of a computer that simply can't hold up to modern graphics requirements, I'm glad it'll be on the 360.

If this is true, sweet! I won't have to get a new PC to play, but then i'll have to play my 360 again...

Actually, this came back to bite DarkStarMojo - the leader of the Dark Forces Mod for Jedi Acadamy project - in the butt because he announced that they would be continuing the project rather than letting it die on April First of last year, and half the community (myself included) disbelieved him. He turned out to be telling the truth, but it was quite funny.

Personally, I don't care if this game comes out on XBox or not. I'll be buying the PC version regardless.
